Website allencell.org reorganized

The allencell.org website has undergone a major reorganization to improve usability and to make navigation more efficient based on user feedback. Many new pages have been added, and many other pages have changed names or locations. All changes are described on the Site updates page.

Cell Catalog update September 1, 2018

Five more fluorescently tagged hiPSC lines have been added to the Allen Cell Collection. The new lineup includes two new nuclear structures and three cardiomyocyte-specific structures.

We aim to provide a new set of lines quarterly. Currently, the collection comprises 31 different cell lines targeting 28 key structures/substructures. The list of structures/substructures targeted, including the new additions, are listed below.

New as of August 2018

Nucleus:

H2B-mEGFP-mono

Nup153-mEGFP-mono​

Sarcoplasmic reticulum: ATP2A2-mEGFP-mono

Sarcomeric thick filaments: MYL7-mEGFP-mono

Sarcomere M-line: TTN-mEGFP-mono

​Whole genome sequence data (100X coverage) for the WTC line, the parental line for all of our current edited lines, is now available on the Genomics page of allencell.org. The donor of the WTC line has consented to the sharing of this data.
